Dozens of rockets were fired at Kiryat Shmona in a late night volley, the city says, with at least two impacting inside the city and causing damage.
There are no injuries, a spokesperson for the largely evacuated city says.
One rocket scored a direct hit on an unspecified building, while another landed on a sidewalk. “There is damage to the building, to property, to infrastructure and to a parked car,” the city says.
Crews are currently scanning the city to find if there were any more impacts, but are impeded somewhat by the late-night darkness, the spokesperson says.
The attack was the second to target the city in hours.
Hezbollah claims the attack, saying it fired “intense volleys” at the city to avenge an Israeli strike in Lebanon that Beirut said killed three emergency workers.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
